Big pay raise for Michigan State president. By The Associated Press â¢ Dec 13, 2014. EAST LANSING (AP) - The president of Michigan State University is getting a raise - whether she likes it or not. Trustees raised Lou Anna Simon's salary by 44 percent Friday to $750,000 and awarded her a $100,000 bonus. Simon has declined raises since 2007 and donated bonuses back to the university. Trustees say they greatly appreciate Simon's modesty and generosity.
In the end, the public pressure was too much, as victims, students, alumni, politicians, the state House of Representative and nearly every media organization in the state called for her to no longer be MSU's leader. Simon was named president in January 2005, the final stop in her long journey at MSU, which began in the 1970s. After getting her master's in student personnel and counseling from Indiana State University, she came to MSU, where she got her doctorate in higher education.
